Chapter 420 Flesh

Returning to reality, El found that both Laurana and Gawain looked up at the same time, and no one seemed to notice his abnormal state.

He touched his chest, but he only found the black ring on the tail of Langa, but the mysterious slate was missing, which made El couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief.As a hunter's cautious nature, he has always held a respectful attitude towards such unknown things with unknown meanings.

"There's something wrong outside," Laurana whispered.

"It's safe here." Gao Wen said.What he was referring to was this valley. Surrounded by mountains on three sides and the road on the other side was still in the heart of Thunder Fortress, there was basically nothing that could pose a threat to it.

But the situation that can cause this level of vibration on the ground... Obviously, we can't be too optimistic.

"Anyway, we can't find any tricks here for a while, why don't we go up and see the situation first?" El stood up and raised his legs and walked into the tunnel. He didn't want to stay in this weird place for a moment.

Laurana and Gao Wen looked at each other and nodded tacitly. Neither of them had found the right direction yet, so it was a waste of time to stay here.

But when they returned to the ground, they found that the situation outside was far more "exciting" than they could have imagined.

The originally clear sky had been covered with overcast clouds at some point, and the northern half of the sky could barely see a ray of sunlight, which could be called dark.This doomsday-like scene is no stranger to the exiles, but in the peaceful life of the past few days, everyone has chosen to forget temporarily.

But selective amnesia can't change the cruel reality. When the dark sky falls again, the shadow of death and fear hangs over the exiles again.

"Those undead, are they ready so soon?" El thought to himself.He has never forgotten for a moment the undead that followed closely behind him, but Laurana also made a prediction that with the strength and marching speed of the undead army, she wanted to cross the Camille Wasteland and gather enough to pose a threat to the Thunder Fortress. It will take at least half a month or so.

But now he finally realized that it was just an unrealistic fantasy of himself in a corner.The undead frenzy that could devour most of the Oakland Kingdom within a hundred days was far more terrifying than the limit of his imagination.

"What happened!" El asked loudly, grabbing the re-armored Pallanti.When they returned to the ground, they saw that the soldiers and civilians outside were all in a dazed panic, and this situation was almost unimaginable for the exiles who had faced the front of the undead army.

The dark sky has long been a daily companion for the exiles, and the reason for their fear must be something even more terrifying.

"We have been attacked! It was an air strike, and an iron furnace was destroyed!" Pallanti gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his face was pale but his eyes were still calm.It's just that with her current physical condition, even if she is fully armed, she has no combat power to speak of.

"Look! It's Ms. Ranstadt!" Someone shouted from the side, and El turned his head away hastily.

The magician girl slowly flew into the air, her long moon-white hair fluttering in the wind, she held up her staff and recited a spell, the dazzling sunlight burst out from the top of the staff, as if condensing into a new round of sun in mid-air.

Even though he is the supreme commander of the military, when it comes to the prestige among the exiles, El is still not comparable to Tiana.When the girl appeared, the chaotic atmosphere was swept away, and both soldiers and civilians quickly woke up and restored order.

The girl picked up the staff and pressed it forward, spraying a stream of light and hitting the ground, bursting out a little bit of starlight.A blue light flashed in El's eyes, and he saw a black mist full of filthy atmosphere struggling to dissipate under the light.

"Don't stand still! Send the alarm and enter the combat alert state!" El pushed away the soldiers blocking him, and ran to Tiana's side—it might also be the place where he felt the impact of the ground just now.

It was an iron smelting furnace that had just been repaired. The first batch of iron ore had been stuffed in less than half a day, but now there was only a huge charred hole, which was almost filled with various fragments of incomplete corpses. .The sputtered molten iron sprinkled on the carrion, emitting a disgusting burnt smell.

"What's the situation? Why are so many people dead?" El gritted his teeth and turned to Tiana and asked.

"Not one of us—" Tiana whispered, frowning.If it were an ordinary girl, facing such a cruel scene, she might be frightened and go crazy.But the magician girl who once fought all the way from the corpse mountain and blood sea in the north has already been exempted from this level of fear judgment.

"As you can see, this is what they threw over. They used the piled up corpses to make cannonballs and fired at us, at least on the other side of the mountain." Tiana waved her staff, burning the corpses, while facing El said quietly.

"The meat-grinding corpse cart is the most commonly used siege weapon by the undead, but the projectile distance cannot reach such a long distance, and the nearest defense line is five kilometers away." Gawain stepped forward and examined the ground. The corpse on the table seemed to be talking to himself.

His relationship with these refugees was not good enough to answer their doubts specifically, but because of the powerful divine power emanating from that Miss Ranstadt, Gawain still chose to speak.

"It's as powerful as an alchemy bomb, but it's actually useless. It can't cause effective damage to the 'ancient buildings' of Thunder Fortress... Maybe it's just disgusting people?" Laurana said, covering her mouth and nose.

The "ancient buildings" of Thunder Fortress are of course not something that can be destroyed by mere alchemy bombs or human bombs. Back then, multiple gold rank powerhouses fought here and turned the mountains into plains. In good condition, its firmness can be imagined.

"Are you still in the mood to study this thing? Look at the sky!" Dreyer, who had rushed over, shouted angrily: "El, where is my sister?"

"How the hell do I know where your sister is...Damn it, call the police! Air raid!" El was about to spit back at this serious sister-in-law, but when he turned his head, he saw the northern sky in the direction of his finger The scene in the middle of the scene suddenly changed dramatically.

The originally gloomy sky suddenly darkened, almost making people think that the dark sky fell instantly, but it was a more terrifying scene than the dark sky.Hundreds of flesh and blood shells spanned almost half of the sky, covering the defensive area of ​​Thunder Fortress like a torrential rain.

No matter how far or near, regardless of size, the bombardment of flesh and blood bombarded Thunder Fortress indiscriminately. It was almost predictable that after more than ten seconds, the entire Thunder Fortress would be submerged in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"Everyone evacuate immediately! Run to the mine! El—" Tiana rose into the air again, chanting a complicated spell.Although the urgency kept her from finishing, El knew what she meant.The girl is about to release a large spell, and he needs to buy some time.In the past battles, this was already a tacit understanding between the two people.

"Wait a minute, they are not destroying, but planting seeds!" Laurana looked at the flesh and blood shells rushing towards her, and said suddenly: "The undead are existences that are not recognized by the world order. If they want to show their true strength, they must We must create a battlefield environment that is beneficial to our side. Not only must we destroy them, but we must also do what we did just now—to completely expel the breath of death they carry, otherwise this place will become the home of the undead!"

"What the hell, let me try it." El pouted, took a deep breath, took off the dragon tooth bow behind his back, and aimed at the target in the sky.

Within sight, at least three huge flesh cannonballs with a diameter of more than two meters fell towards the valley. If Laurana's guess came true, the damage and damage they caused would be negligible. The shadow of the undead came.

"Cyprus, let me see if the Fallen Leaf Sword you boasted about is really that powerful." El snorted coldly in his heart, bowed his bow and set an arrow, and lightly touched the arrow with his fingers.

Seven runes emerged from El's fingers, forming a chain and wrapping around the arrow. This was not to increase the power, but to restrain the real power attached to the arrow.In fact, from the moment it came into contact with the Fallen Leaf Sword Intent, the arrow made of fine steel began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The moment El let go of the bowstring, the military-grade white-feathered ebony arrow had disappeared, not just visually, but even physically.Even El himself didn't know where he shot the arrow, but at the next moment, the flesh and blood shell that fell from the sky exploded in the air with a bang, and then turned into fly ash and disappeared with the wind under the eyes of everyone.

"Well, you're right."

El swallowed secretly, moved his fingers subconsciously, and turned around to shoot the other two targets, but at this moment, the dragon tooth bow in his hand was abnormal.

Although there is no problem on the surface, the touch from the palm of his hand tells El that a slight crack has appeared in the keel that makes up the bow arm.This loss is almost comparable to the one hundred flat shots he usually goes all out.Although the keel itself has a certain self-healing ability, it takes enough time.If the same arrow is shot now, the loss will be multiplied immediately, and it will increase by dozens of times.

In other words, with the super-strong material of the Dragon Tooth Bow, it is impossible to afford the continuous shooting of Fallen Leaf Sword Intent. For El, this composite bow is equivalent to his second life. It is absolutely unacceptable to waste dead meat.

"I know that there is no free lunch in this world... This is to force me to do it myself!"

El cursed secretly in his heart, backhanded the dragon tooth bow back, pulled out the wind marks on his waist, and stepped into the void.

His eyes suddenly darkened, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already at an altitude of [-] meters.El opened his arms recklessly, and a pair of transparent cicada wings bloomed from behind him.
